The minutes of the meeting held on 19 March 2018, to be confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman

RESOLVED:  The minutes of the meeting held on 19 March 2018 were AGREED as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

Ms A Herriman, Senior Planning Officer presented the application which sought agreement to a single storey extension and alterations to existing music block and associated stores. Single storey extension and alterations to existing Maths/English block. Single storey extension and alterations to the main entrance. Re-design of existing courtyard with installation of canopy and associated hard and soft landscaping. 

Ms Herriman highlighted the following points:

• The application was for improvement works only and there would be no additional student numbers or vehicle movements.
• Due to the boundaries of the site Mr M Shaw had also been consulted as a local member and mentioned in the report
• Due to the conditions set out in the Scheme of Delegation, the application had received a number of objections and therefore had to be heard by the Committee
• Since publication of the report there had been a request from the local member to add in an additional condition regarding parking at the school however, Ms Herriman confirmed that this would not be a condition that could be imposed as the application did not include an increase in pupil or staff numbers.

Ms Herriman gave an overview of the application and the Committee received a presentation showing the proposed site plans and photographs.

The proposed developments at the school were as follows:

·         New doorset to the IT block;

·         Extension to the Maths block;

·         Extension to the Music block;

·         Internal alterations to the toilets / shower block to provide better toilets provision;

·         Extension to the front / main entrance of the school.

·         Improvements to external area for improved hard and soft landscaping.

The Committee raised and discussed the following points:

• It was asked why the application had come to the Committee when there were only seven objections which were in relation to increase in pupil numbers and impact on parking, which were not the subject of the application.  Ms Stapleford confirmed that where comments are received on Buckinghamshire County Council applications, these could not be approved under delegated powers and therefore it had to come to Committee.  Ms Stapleford suggested that the wording in the Scheme of Delegation would perhaps need reviewing in order to address this.

Recommendation:

The Planning Development Control Committee were invited to APPROVE application number CC/0003/18 subject to the conditions as outlined in Appendix A of the report.

RESOLVED: All Members of the Committee AGREED the recommendation.
